Good morning, all. I don't know where the sunshine everyone's talking about is at. Not here! Oh well, coffee sometimes makes the sun come out so I'll have at least two cups this morning. Just another work day in paradise. Nothing else planned, beyond making meals and cleaning the kitchen, that is. Remember there is a supermoon tonight, and it should be spectacular.

Supposed to be 17 here today so a bike ride will definitely be on the agenda this afternoon after working this morning. We received our annual house and car insurance bills and both went down so we are happy about that. Looks like we have a provincial election coming up soon. I will vote in the advance polls as I will be in Toronto caring for my Mum on election day-she seems to be recovering nicely but still needs a lot of help after her tumble, broken arm, nerve damage from shoulder dislocation etc. My sister leaves her today to come here and my 79 year old aunt is taking care of my 87 year old mother until another sister arrives in 9 days. My aunt is an energetic go getter and we are very thankful she volunteered. Mum and the aunt have a European river cruise booked in Sept and my Mum is determined she is going! There is still one sister remaining in Toronto to take my Mum to apts and help my aunt out when she is not at work. Perhaps it is a good thing my mum had 5 kids!! Along with 3 sisters I also have a brother who, with his wife, will spend some time looking after Mum in April too.

Good Morning! Sunshine in my neck of the woods. Really wanted to take the day off work but here I am slaving away

I have a roast beef in the slow cooker today. I also thawed a 3.5 LB of wings over night (paid .99 lb!) So will cook those up tonight for tomorrow night's dinner for the boys (I am out with my sister for a girls night )

I finally washed the duvet for DS's bed last night. Will have it hang to dry and put on this bed this weekend. I also have a pile of pillows to deal with in the laundry room.

Have a frugal day everyone

I finally caved in and bought the item I wanted on eBay. They have a 10% off promotion "march10" and 1% rebate from ebates.ca. My house is a mess and I can't blame it on my three kitties.

Today I got paid all my bills at 2:30am did some online shopping at 3:30am. I went to the bank at 7am then went over to Walmart and bought: 2x 12mini Boston cream donuts
1x mini honey cruellers
50$ to Apple App Store gift card.

I came home and went out again at 8am to pick up more meds they only delivered enough for one night. I had questioned the pharmacy after the delivery was short a couple days. The night before.
I headed over to shoppers after and bought:
1 blue watch from Joe
A box of 64 tabs of whitening polident tabs
2x Colgate soft toothbrushes
3x 591ml bottles of gold peak raspberry ice tea(my favourite)
Hersey eggies
Aloe Vera socks
Always pads
2 box of kraft dinner
Amazon.ca gift card

I came home and made kraft dinner for lunch and ordered that king duvet cover that someone wanted on amazon.ca paid 39.95$ with free shipping.

Then the same person made me run to big box and pick up AA batteries I found Kirkland 48 AA batteries for $10. I gave up my last gold peak raspberry ice tea to them as well.

It’s hot outside today kinda sticky in my room. I been turning my AC on and off again for a couple hours. Trying to figure what to make for dinner to be honest I would have to do dishes before I start on it at all.

I’m in lots of pain to out walking on feet that shouldn’t be walking on but I never like to sit still and do nothing. I’m tired and tried taking a nap went nowhere.

All leftovers used up today for dinner. One child opted for cereal and popcorn. He is 15 and more than capable of prepping a meal and chose not to. Happy for the 1st day of spring but we still have a lot of snow that needs to melt because it’s gross.
Happy birthday @gisel dta
